THE ** HYPERACTIVITY **EPISODES can be dangerous to your health
The HYPERACTIVITY Episodes
This is what I call them.
A sequence of symptoms, that only you know are happening.
When your ADHD isn't controlled or it is controlled with medication. (most of the time) see your brain feels the stress that ADHD (hyperactivity)causes on it. When you can deal with everyday life and then the stresses subside. Your ADHD becomes manageable and you can go on as if you don't even have the disorder. Thats where I was for nearly two years.
until the stresses in my life grew. My Aderall can only do so much. However so much stress is overtaking my ability to control my ADHD, that led to stress becoming trauma . PTSD set in and soon I'm feeling myself frozen ,debilitated, absolutely shut down. No support constant physical,emotional,finacial, I dont know or understand whats happening to me?? WTF!! I can't stop it!!
Looking back now I can see when and where the Episodes began
IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE
DO NOT IGNORE IT.
AS soon as I experience any kind of stress( rapid breathing, excitement, assertion, to my body or to my brain... good stress..exercise,sex,woohooing at a concert...carring water raft up to water slide.. yup remember it well.. my heart felt amped and a nervous vibrating internally, i was losing my breath, felt like a rock was sitting on my chest.. ended up in ER.. Saw Cardiologist.. hearts ok ugh! (where's DR House)
now going through my psyc, records. I made a connection where at the same time this Heart thing started, the physical abuse from my husband was escalating and I mention to my Dr. that this is happening and that im distancing myself. Locking myself away to WORK ON ME!! I was trying so hard. and it worked as long as the stress( nasty husband ) left me alone.
however, more stress led to more HYPERACTIVITY ,and then more symptoms, dry mouth whenever I feel have to have an emotional conversation or a conversation that can lead to stress. uncontrollable urinating when having to put any strain on the body or brain.. a yelling confortation with the husband would end with me soaking wet. didn't matter where i was either. I carried extra clothes. I thought my bladder is weak cause I was getting older. NOPE HYPERACTIVITY... was setting in.. and it continued sweats, nose itching,nose running,sneezing (6\7 times. from stimulated rhinitis..non allergic. Cramping and muscle pains aches due to lower potassium levels.. Hyperactivity left to run rampant WILL KILL YOU!! you'll have episodes where your mind is unlike it normally it is. (you know yourADHD brain better than anyone).. the capabilites I once had
where now gone or depending on how bad the EPISODE I was having is.. Yes they can very from. Day to day stress to stress. ITs how your body responds.. YES I SAID BODY , fine motor skills, memory short term notice the physical sympotoms. HYPERACTIVY will cause your ADRENIAL GLANDS to shut down from over working and go into failure. now cortisol levels will be free to climb causing that stress tire around your tummy. and settle in around your heart. it will cause your electrolytes to become irratic and your blood pressure will rise to dangerous stroke and heart attack levels. Metabolic disorders affecting your alkline ,sodium can harm blood vessels and ateries. pins and needles in your feet tingling in your hands, huge sense of heightenness intuitive almost, migraines.. and a I came to the point that trying to argue back became impossible. bacause. id lose my breath so bad not be able to yell. hearing was dulled and i felt distorted. until i passed out....yes several it was like brain over load. and now we go shut down.. and depending on the disagreement or what the stress was.. my response was hyperactive... i was a crazy woman screaming peeing and gasping yet still trying to speak and tell someone what was happening to me and peoples response was..
you have a learning disability.. I remember rage.. unbelievable rage.. im fighting everyday just to live and survive. no help, no support, no understanding no nothing... you have no idea. Cost me everything.
I was discriminated against, misunderstood, forgotten, misdiagnosed, abused, mistreated, laughed at,and blamed. its took this for me to understand how serious ADHD can be
if left not treated and controlled ....this is why im doing this..for my fellow brother and sister... speak up.. ask for blood tests CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel,) cortisol levels am & pm.. urine cortisol &,potassium..the adrenal glands sit above your kidneys. Also, you can ask your primary dr for a referral to an endocrinologist..
